Fun Bites ! More than just a Sandwich Cutter!

Recently I was sent a new product to try called Fun Bites. At first, I have to admit, I was thinking it's just another sandwich cutter. And you are probably saying " Jennifer, how many cutters do you need?" well that depends and Lord knows I have a shameful amount! But after using it for a few weeks I found it was more than just a sandwich cutter. It was a great kitchen tool!

First, a little background on the company. Fun Bites was started by a mom and I love mom companies. I mean who knows what a mom wants in a product better than another mom? Not only that, they are 100% made in the USA, BPA free and top rack dishwasher safe. Fun Bites come in 2 designs, Cube It and Luv It.

The first lunch I did I used the Cube It. I made my sandwich as usual and used the cutter. It was very simple and cut very easily. I love the popper that is included that just pops your cubes out! I stacked up my cubes on cute picks to make it easy to eat. My daughter said she loved her little "mini" sandwiches.

The next cutter is the Luv It and my daughter wanted in on the fun. So she made her sandwich the way she wanted it. She thought it was lots of fun to be able to easily make her own design. She used food writers to "color" it. The ease of use and lack of sharp edges makes this a great way to get your kids involved in meal making. And when kids help make their meals they are more likely to try new things and eat all their food!! Here's her creation:

The other day I went to make croutons and I realized the cube it would be perfect for that. I sliced my beer bread and used the cube it to quickly make perfect little croutons. It was so fast and easy!! This also would be a great tool to cut up meat and cheese for an antipasto salad. With the Superbowl coming up, I can see myself using this little green guy alot!!

The Luv It has lots of great geometric shapes that could be made into a million things! This morning I was in a hurry and did a quick face on my daughters sandwich. Literally took 2 seconds and I didn't have to look for a bunch of small cutters or try to free hand it.

As you can probably tell , I really like these and I think they could be used a million ways I haven't even thought of yet! Both for cool lunches and your everyday meals.

** I was sent a sample of this product to try. The thoughts and opinions shared on this page are mine and mine alone and I was in no way told what to say nor was I paid to write it.**

The first thing I would like to cut if I were to win this beautiful cutter is....my forever love, the seeded bread, sandwiched with sweet omellette! And make them into mini bites to bring to school:) Oh, my lunch box is going to be beautiful and surely will put a smile on my face..
